It seems to work and if I load "resource:// ufcontent/" into the browser, then I get a directory listing of the the "root" resource directory as expected. However if I enter "resource://ufcontent/test.html" I get a not found error. If I enter, "resource://ufcontent/content/test.html" where content is the directory within my application that test.html exists it works... Why does the resource work for "resource://ufcontent/" but not "resource://ufcontent/test.html"?
